Under the glow from the magnificent stained glass windows, the Rev. Maxwell Grant will officiate a reverent, yet inclusive ceremony. The music will feature the church's immense pipe organ and will be performed by dear friends of the family.

Following the wedding, we will gather for the reception in the church center's Thomas Starr King room. We will be serving a light lunch of made-to-order crepes. Music from a local string trio will complete the perfect backdrop as we spend the afternoon in joyful celebration.

Fog permitting, you will be treated to stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Inside we will provide a hosted bar and hors d'oeuvres. Dancing and the cake cutting will round out the evening.

We hope you can join us for an elegant ending to our wedding day.

For much of the past century, the majority of the Ferry Building was closed to the public. In the early 2000s, it underwent a complete renovation and was transformed into the world class food emporium that it is today. In October 2002, shortly before its grand opening, it was the site of the San Francisco Giants' World Series Gala. Paul's mom, Joyce, was able to bring the family along to this amazing event.

Uber gives you arrival estimates and the ability to track your car as it approaches. This is a huge benefit when you need to arrive somewhere at a precise time. If you would like to sign up for an Uber account, please use our invitation code: https://www.uber.com/invite/uberpaulandbrian

If you would like to brave the maddening roads of San Francisco, car rental is available directly at SFO via the Airtrain. Parking can be challenging and often expensive, however.
